Course Description

Are you a software developer who uses Git and GitHub, or needs to start using these tools for work or a side project? This 2-hour intermediate course takes away the guesswork. It builds on my free, introductory course Short and Sweet: Get Started with Git and GitHub Right Now to tackle tough topics like collaboration, branching and merging.

Save time and get productive with Git and GitHub – fast!

Git and GitHub can seem difficult because the commands are exacting, and they can trip you up if you get out of sync – but these programs are very powerful and are absolutely essential for modern software developers.

That’s because Git and GitHub are a mainstay of modern software version control. They provide a backup mechanism, a record of your project’s history, a collaboration mechanism, and a base for a public portfolio that could get you a job.

In less than 2 hours, this Short and Sweet course will take you from beginner to intermediate skills, without a lot of filler. At the end of the course, you’ll be able to add collaborators to your own projects, clone and collaborate on other people’s or companies’ projects, use branching and merging to minimize conflicts, fork projects, and recover from errors by rolling back to prior versions the right way.

That’s a great trade for 2 hours of your time!

Please note: This course assumes you already have a GitHub account, have installed Git on your computer, and have pushed your first commit. If you haven’t, please enroll for free in my 30-minute introductory course Short and Sweet: Get Started with Git and GitHub Right Now.

But if you’ve already taken the introductory course, or you’re slightly familiar with Git and GitHub and want to look under the hood and get serious, this course IS for you and I hope you’ll enroll.

My goal is to make this course the easiest-ever guide to getting GOOD at Git and GitHub. Please let me know if anything in the course could be clearer, and I’ll be happy to help you. It also will help me improve the course.
